Product Development

Outsourced Product Development
Product Development is a complex process and requires deep expertise. Recognized as an Offshore Product Development leader, Elephas understands the associated challenges, and with its vast experience, has devised strategies to overcome them.

Elephas partners with software companies for world-class product development by aligning technology and competency based domain excellence centers that drive long-term value to our clients through knowledge retention. Our services assist ISVs to reduce their cost of product development dramatically while keeping a control on the product architecture, intellectual property, and dedicated project teams.

Software Product Development and solutions are two different things altogether. Product Development is a risky and complex process. Software Product Development requires highly flexible and extendible design. Nobody knows what kind of functionality might be required in future. New Product Development encompasses many different disciplines and skill sets. Product Engineering is not a static discipline; it evolves as business models evolve. So the requirements are ever changing. Product Development timelines are the primary factor in determining time-to-market.

The development schedules must be flexible enough to accommodate business needs evolving over time. At Elephas, we understand the challenges associated with Product Development & Product Engineering. BrickRed has executed number of offshore product development contracts successfully.

Migration Methodology
Elephas's Migration Assessment expertise provides an accurate and timely inventory of all impacted applications, defines migration issues by count and severity, and outlines a delivery plan and a cost model to complete the migration. There are four key steps of the migration strategy:

	Planning, risk, and requirements analysis
	Versioning control and library definition customization
	Build system and code migration
	Detailed testing and debugging

Product QA & Testing
Software Quality is one of the most crucial factors determining the success or failure of a business. Faulty software can seriously affect the business in terms of Cost and Efficiency, as there is considerable expenditure of time and money involved in fixing errors which will lead to downtime, frustration - and lost revenue. On the other hand good software can prove to be an asset for the organization and can increase the overall efficiency and productivity of the activity for which it is used.
